Knights of Columbus councils, the Legion of Mary, men’s and women’s groups and lay movements
Anywhere we travel, on the dates that suit your council or chapter
A Knights council, a Legion of Mary praesidium and a men’s group are not the same trip. The itinerary is built around the devotion, the patron or the work your organisation exists for, rather than a general tour of a country.
Councils and chapters usually draw from several parishes, sometimes across a whole region, so the group is assembled rather than announced from one pulpit. We give you the brochure and the emails to reach every parish your members come from.
Where your organisation has a chaplain he celebrates Mass for the group each day and hears confessions along the way. Where it does not, we arrange for the group to attend a public Mass, usually in the local language, and a chaplain can be arranged on request.
You tell us roughly where the group wants to go, when, and how many members you expect. We build a draft itinerary and a price from that, with no deposit and no commitment until the plan is right.How it works →
Every trip gets its own brochure and we mail 250 printed copies to the leader, with sample text for a newsletter or bulletin and an email ready to send to the membership. Graphics are made on request.How to promote it →
Canterbury takes the registrations, the deposits and the balances directly from each member, so your treasurer is not collecting cheques or chasing payments.Common questions →
At the group size shown on your proposal the leader’s place is complimentary. The threshold is written on the proposal from the start rather than discovered later. How the free place works →
A tour manager travels with the group for the whole pilgrimage, with local guides at each site, so your officers can be part of the pilgrimage rather than run it.What a pilgrimage is like →
We build the same trip for a parish, a diocese, a school, a youth group, or a seminary or religious community. We also build pilgrimages to mark a priest’s anniversary. Tell us what the group is and we will build around it.
Tell us the window you have in mind and we will build the itinerary around it: the time you have, and the places that matter most to your pilgrims.
Every pilgrim in your group gets the app. Their itinerary, hotels and flights, the prayers of the day and a way to reach one another, all in one place and kept current as the pilgrimage unfolds.
Your whole group in one thread, so a change of plan reaches everyone at once.
The full day-by-day schedule, always current, in every pilgrim’s pocket.
Where the group is staying each night, with addresses and dates.
Flight details kept alongside everything else, not in a separate email.
The prayers of the day, including the Liturgy of the Hours.
A keepsake record of the shrines your group visits along the way.
Times and meeting points pushed to everyone the moment they change.
“They’re big enough to handle any problem that arises, and small enough to craft truly unique experiences.”
Chris StefanickNo. Where your organisation has a chaplain he celebrates Mass for the group each day and hears confessions along the way. Where it does not, we arrange for the group to attend a public Mass, usually in the local language, and a chaplain can be arranged on request.
No, it is the normal case. You get the brochure, the printed copies and the emails to reach every parish your members come from, and each member registers and pays Canterbury directly wherever they worship.
Most groups start eight to thirteen months out, and assembling members from several parishes takes longer than filling a trip from one, so the earlier end of that window is the safer one.
We do. Each member registers and pays Canterbury directly, so your treasurer is not handling deposits, balances or refunds.
Yes, and it is usually the best starting point. Tell us the patron, the devotion or the work your organisation exists for, your dates and roughly how many travellers, and we will build around it.
Dioceses, parishes, schools and Catholic ministries plan their pilgrimages with Canterbury.
